Jan 5, 2009: trucks like caterpillars
A friend emailed me this photo today. At a first glance I thought it was a circle of caterpillars following each other in the dust. But no, it's a photo of a whole lot of road trains, queuing to collect cattle from an outback cattle station in the NT (that's Northern Territory for we Aussies). There were three other aerial shots in the email.
I found more info on them here, which says

At a rough count of 200 head of cattle per unit = 3400 head in the one lift.

I've experienced being buffeted by one of these road trains when driving through the outback. Hate to be driving on an outback road when this convoy was passing by!
